I do think this game has such good potential, if only the developers worked on it more. The AI for all the animals in the game need to be improved upon and definitely recognize when they're running into a wall T-T It's a cool game though!

It's a fun game, however, it does play like a demo! I'm hoping quite a few updates come through, because this has a lot of potential. For what it is, and compared to some other games, the price is good!

It has the bones of a good game, but you can tell that it's in early access - the controls are a bit wonky and quests/etc aren't explained well. But I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops over time

The graphics are very high quality, but here are some things you should add to the game in the future. 1. Accuracy. For animals like wolves, cougars, etc., do some research. Research about animal gestation times for a future pregnancy update, start with the animal of the player's choice as, IRL, sexually mature (e.g, wolves reach maturity at two) You should also add buffs related to the animal you're playing as. like a pack buff for social animals, a hibernation debuff for bears, etc. 2. Actually make the season you choose at the start that season. Like when I choose fall, it sends me to summer. Are you, in fact, aware of this? If so, are you able to fix it? 3. Make the fauna in the current biome more accurate, like since that map looks like it could be in the Northern Hemisphere, South American cougars definitely do not belong there, as an example. 4. Add a flee system. If you harass or injure an enemy long enough, they'll run away. And, deer are a lot more dangerous than they look. When protecting their calves or fawns from predators, doe or cow elk can break bones with their hooves. 5. Yes, I am an absolute smart@ss Overall, a 3.5/5. Room for improvement.

THE best multi animal game AND the most cheapest its absolutely perfect although some more features would make it the GOAT of all animal games like how about cut scenes? or story mode!! glorious graphics and awesome attack features i can kill anything!! I love pretending I'm in a natural geographic but radio collars an accessories that animals could have in irl!! I play this game every day im home!! although something i really want is more members in the family! the average members in a wolf pack is 8-9 please add that and more than 10 members in a deer family but everything in this beautiful game is perfect beside the limited numbers of family members!! And a 1 man team!?!?! You're doing great.
